fit4family12

Hi all!!
I am currently building my friends list and I love all the support and motivation so far from amazing people. I log in every single day and check my status updates multiple times a day from my phone. I try to "like" all my friends accomplishments and comment when I can.....

So, as well as having an amazing mix of friends.. I was looking to also add those of you with a large family.. I currently have 8 kiddos and one on the way ( my doctor recommended me stick with mfp and chart everythinggggg I eat as well as stick to 1200-1500 cals only, even while prg) I started the pregnancy 40 pds over weight!! already gained 20 and she said no more gain for me.... anywayssssss.... if any preggo ladies or any of you that have many kids please add me on your friends list, It would be nice to go through this journey with friends that also have challenges of raising a large family whle trying to eat healthy and maintain working out ect..........

but, I wont limit it to family size, If you are reallllly serious about logging everyday are here for true friend suppport, and motivation, and give constructive comments... I will consider a friend request with a short message please

imo. having a strong, active, friend base i feel is critical to success on here!!!

I only have 2 kids (7 and 11) of my own, however I operate a home-based pre-school/daycare so I have 6 additional kids aged 2-4. Keeps me on my toes everyday from 730am-530pm. I understand and empathize becoming fatigued, stressed and demotivated. If you want, you may add me as a friend.

Just two, but they move _really fast_.

What about 2 kids that sometimes appear to have split personalities. Does that count as 4? :laugh:

mommysunshine87

I have a 16yo boy, 15 yo boy, 7yo boy, 6yo girl, 4yo girl, 2yo girl, and 1yo boy.

Though, God gave me a couple of them through adoption, I still claim "baby" weight from all of them. lol

Girl_Eatz_Boy

I totally understand you. I have 5 kids...4 boys, 1 girl. Just had my last child, a son on 5/29/13. I'm struggling so bad to lose the pregnancy weight. I have gone down to my regular weight, about 120 no problem after my first 4, this one I have hardly lost a pound. It's difficult to eat right and exercise when you have a household of people to take care of. I'd love to help you, support you...just vent. Lol Good luck!

it adds a new layer of life to trying to get healthy , the 21 yo DD ( she is on here with me) and the 9 yo DD i see having food issues like me, and we try to stay positive and advocate making good and smart choices - but its not easy..
the other kids dont have that issue , so much of things like that are nature - meaning genetics, and some is nurture

1 girl, 3 boys, and one on the way here.

I used MFP through my last pregnancy (started 20 pounds overweight) and it was great. Using it again this time, starting very near healthy weight, but still want to keep food intake appropraite.

Feel free to add me.

I have a husband who can eat anything and gain nothing while I gain everything. I also am a mom of 1 girl (15) and 3 boys (12, 9 & 8). My husband and I do not feel we have enough and had just begun the adoption process of a special needs little girl from Hong Kong (hopefully have her home by the end of the year).

I have been fighting the weight problem all my life and even had lap-band surgery 4 years ago. I have lost a lot of inches but the weight is not coming off the way I would like as my body is extremely carb sensitive.

Four boys here: 16, 14, 8, and 6.

I think your exercise is taking care of that whole family. but seriously, I have 5 - 1 girl and 4 boys with the girl being the oldest 22-6. and what I do is wake up at the crack of dawn to get me-time in; where no one is telling me that they are hungry, thirsty itchy bored etc...ad nauseum. I'll add you.
